Description:  A very attractively designed book of widely varied ‘snippets’ concerning Liskeard and its people, assembled by the President of Liskeard Old Cornwall Society. Random examples from a fascinating selection include The Wardropers of Ladye Park; Liskeard’s signalman Mayor; Early lady photographers; the ironworks at Moorswater; Temperance hotels, and so much more.  They give a flavour of the lives of past residents, and the uses of the town’s buildings. Some amuse, some sadden. Most items occupy a couple of pages, and it’s the sort of book you can read from start to finish or just dip into when you feel like it, but you will not fail to learn something which you never suspected.
